[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of PID sensors are provided in the third reaction chamber 10, and the PID sensors are used for detecting ethanol, amines, hydrogen sulfide, aldehydes, lipids and ketone compounds.
[0058] In the present embodiment, the sensors provided in the third reaction chamber 10 can be: PID (photoionization) sensors are generally used for detecting ethanol, lipids, alcohols and other organic volatile gases. MQ series semiconductor sensors such as MQ-2 and MQ-136 are generally used for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S), amine compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). MQ-136 or MQ-4 type sensors are commonly used for detecting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exclusively.

MQ series sensors are also commonly used for detecting ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other volatile organic compounds in the air. Electrochemical sensors are generally used for detecting aldehydes, ketones and other organic solvent gases. Electrochemical sensors are mainly used for detecting formaldehyde.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic nose system includes a baseline adjustment mode, a sampling mode and an enrichment mode;
[0060] The baseline adjustment mode is: adjusting the electronic flowmeter 12 to an initial value, connecting the baseline adjustment channel 1 with the standard gas, energizing the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6 and the first two-position two-way valve 13, and energizing the first vacuum pump 11 to draw the standard gas through the electronic flowmeter 12 into the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10; at the same time, energizing the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15 and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16, and energizing the second vacuum pump 17 to draw the mixed gas of the standard gas and air in the reaction unit out through the second exhaust port 20 until the sensor values in the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10 are stable.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second vacuum pump 17 discharges the gas in the three reaction chambers, and the gas slowly flows out through the second exhaust port 20 at a speed that is first fast and then slow by manually adjusting the valve. In this process, the values collected by the sensors of the three reaction chambers are observed, and when the baseline adjustment is stable, the sensor baseline can be calibrated at this time.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the sampling mode is as follows: after the completion of the baseline adjustment mode, the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6, the first two-position two-way valve 13 and the first vacuum pump 11 are powered off; the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to discharge the standard gas in the reaction unit; the first two-position three-way valve 4, the second two-position three-way valve 5, the third two-position three-way valve 6 and the first two-position two-way valve 13 are powered on, and the first vacuum pump 11 is powered on to extract the sampling gas into the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10; the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15, the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 and the fourth two-position three-way valve 7 are powered on, and the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to extract the mixed gas of the standard gas and the sampling gas in the reaction unit through the first exhaust port 19, until the sensor values in the first reaction chamber 8, the second reaction chamber 9 and the third reaction chamber 10 are stable.
[0063] In this embodiment, when the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to discharge the standard gas in the reaction unit, the flow control of the manual flowmeter 18 is adjusted to slowly discharge the standard gas in the three reaction chambers, thereby reducing the concentration of the standard gas in the gas chamber and reducing the gas pressure when the sampling gas enters the gas chamber. After the concentration of the gas chamber is reduced (the threshold value needs to be adjusted by actual experiment), the sampling channel 2 starts to intake gas, and the sampling gas quickly enters the gas chamber due to the pressure difference. After the sampling gas basically fills the gas chamber, the manual flowmeter 18 is adjusted to overflow part of the sampling gas and the original standard gas in the gas chamber. At this time, the fourth two-position three-way valve 7 is turned on, and the gas flows out from the first exhaust port 19. After the sampling gas fills the reaction chamber, all solenoid valves and pumps are powered off, and the sensor analyzes and reads the stable reading of the gas. If multiple measurements are required, the above sampling process is repeated.
[0064] The enrichment mode is as follows: the first two-position three-way valve 4 and the second two-position three-way valve 5 are powered off, the third two-position three-way valve 6 is powered on, the first vacuum pump 11 and the first two-position two-way valve 13 are powered on, the enrichment gas enters the reaction chamber through the enrichment channel, the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15 and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are powered on, and the second vacuum pump 17 is powered on to discharge the mixed gas of the enrichment gas and other gases in the reaction chamber, until the reaction chamber is filled with the enrichment gas, and the second two-position two-way valve 14, the third two-position two-way valve 15 and the fourth two-position two-way valve 16 are closed.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
